Key Points

  • The summit brings together leaders including China's Xi Jinping, who is attending a BRICS meeting after seven years.
  • Rising crude prices and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz are central concerns because the strait is crucial for global oil trade.
  • The UAE's halt of trade with Iran is reported as a challenge to issuing a unified BRICS declaration.
  • Past attempts at consensus have failed, but experts hope the summit can foster dialogue among emerging economies against detrimental global policies.
  • Russia, Brazil and South Africa are seeking stronger ties within the expanded BRICS framework.
